While laser hair removal requires minimal preparation, you can take a few steps to maximize your results, including:
- Protect your skin from the sun in the weeks leading up to your appointment by applying SPF and wearing protective clothing when you must go outside.
- For at least a week, avoid harsh exfoliating treatments, both at home and professionally, to keep your skin barrier intact.
- Shave the treatment area the night before your appointment, but do not wax or tweeze the area, as the laser targets the hair follicle at the root.
Your provider will explain these steps and answer any questions you have during your consultation to prepare you for your first laser hair removal session.
